12-20-2019 Completed '34 Ford Box Truck
« on: December 09, 2019, 10:44:16 AM »
Here's a little sneak-peek of a project I am doing on the side. I scratched out a nifty box bed for this little Ford and when it's done, it'll have custom decals for the Heat and Air company that does all of the work for me here. They have always been super to deal with and not too long ago, I had to replace and large unit upstairs in my own home and they did terrific work.

I will make this one look like one of their service vans, mount it on one of those clear plastic little cases, and give it to them for Christmas for their office. I'll provide the more finished photos as it nears completion.

I appreciate people that actually build and post models.

Excellent build and gift David.

Another nice set of custom decals from Greg.

I know what it's like to have someone really appreciate the work one does....

No surprise on how much they have to like that neat build!!

It's been years since I gave a model to someone...1st was early to mid '70's, it was the original Tom Daniels designed Fire Cracker Mack Fire Engine....It went to my oldest brother who was a dispatcher for the Torrance, CA F.D. The other was also a Tom Daniel's designed creation...the Hang Man tow truck, which went to the owner of a towing companiy also in SoCal..in the mid to latter '70's.....g=have no idea what happened to either of them....

But...with my plastic canvas hobby....a goo 90%+ go to others.....always have over the years....and still doing that today....

As a recipient of one of your special builds I think I understand what the box truck means to them.  Their comment shows how much they value their customers!🏁🏁🏁
